  1. NICADD Participation in Fermilab Linear Collider Activities • Linear Collider activities at NIU are rather diverse • Beam Physics & Diagnostics • Calorimeter & Muon Tracker • Financial Support of Fermilab Managed Activities • Outreach • A number of individuals are involved • Faculty: 4 Detector; 1 Accelerator + 1 search underway • Scientist: 5 Detector; 4 Accelerator • Students: 4 Detector; 4 Accelerator • Current Funding • State of Illinois HECA Grant for ICAR • Dept. of Education Grant for NICADD 2001-2004 & 2003-2006 • DOE: Advanced Detector Research (also pending) • NSF: UCLC (also pending) • Joint Technology Office: “Photoinjector Modeling and Simulation”

  2. Beam Physics and Astrophysics Group • Production of high-brightness electron beams at FNPL • High Resolution electron beam diagnostics • Interferometry (transition radiation) • Electro-optic sampling (electromagnetic fields) • Theory and Simulation of space charge • Chaos in time-dependent systems • Chaotic mixing in N-body systems (beams, galaxies) • Validity of the continuum (Vlasov) limit • Beam halo formation • New multiresolution algorithms (e.g., application of wavelets). • Eight FY03 pubs…

  3. [C.L. Bohn, I.V. Sideris, Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams6, 034203 (2003)] Snapshots of four different clumps of chaotic orbits in a TE beam bunch with triaxial symmetry. Each clump grows exponentially to fill a volume commensurate to the total particle energy. Moral: Chaos can appear in simple static beams; thus one can expect (and one generally sees) chaos and fast collective dynamics in nonequilibrium beams! Example: Chaotic Orbits in Thermal-Equilibrium Beams

  4. Linear Collider Detector Activities Jet Resolution s/E • Simulation, Design, and Prototyping of a Scintillator Digital Hadron Calorimeter • Simulations indicate approach competitive with analog calorimetry • Prototypes indicate there is sufficient sensitivity (light x efficiency) & uniformity. • Promising sensors • Now optimizing materials & construction to minimize cost with required sensitivity • Combined Hadron Tail – Catcher & Muon Tracker Test Beam Studies • Simulation Infrastructure Jet E(GeV) Eflow s = 0.17 Analog s = 0.16 Jet E: Recon/Gen

  5. DHC Prototypes: Stack, Layer, & Unit Cell WLS to Clear Fiber MPTM

  6. Si-PMs (PULSAR/MEPHI*) mounted on cell? Representative Spectrum *Moscow Engineering Physics Institute

  7. NICADD/Fermilab Extruder

  8. Tail Catcher/Muon Tracker &Test Beam • Will enter into an MOU with DESY/ CALICE to • Contribute support and personnel to DHC test- beam • Provide Combination Tail Catcher / Muon Tracker HCal Tail-catcher ECal

  9. Scintillator Based Muon System • Proposed Parameters • 16 x 5cm gaps between • 10cm thick Fe plates. • Module sizes: • 940cm(Length) • (174 to 252cm)(Width) • Scintillator Strips • 4.1 cm X 1 cm • 8u & 8v planes. Fe Thickness = 10 cm Gap = 5 cm stave 1 stave 0 R(inner) = 4.45m

  10. Simulation Infrastructure • Supporting Linear Collider Effort Through • Simulation of DHC, Test Beam, Tail Catcher • LC wide code development • Simulation requests • Technically speaking: • Development and bug-fixing on LCDG4. • Non-projective geometry simulations in HCal using LCDG4-NP, based on the REL01 LCDG4 codebase. • SIO file format fixes. • Mutual certification of LCDG4 and Mokka Geant4 simulators. • Authoring of AIDA codes for analysis of text, SIO and LCIO output. • Production of SIO datasets of SD geometries for researchers at Argonne and SLAC. • Purchase and deployment of new LCD Computing server k2. • Setting up of physics distribution for shared development environment.

  11. Other Linear Collider Related Activities • Assisted with purchase of large and small furnaces for LC structure annealing. • Assisting with the formation of an Advisory Committee to help Fermilab work with local organizations and citizens. • Funding hydrogeological and geological studies for LC sites at NIU Geology Dept. • Outreach program for local schools and civic organizations.
